White Lightning Jesus!

jug powered
the bible, heathens
took to prairies tipping
scripture almighty, mushrooms
under cow chips sprouted, goldenrod
flowered, man of the cloth cowered,

bearded, dark
sunglass bespeckled
preacher drew a circle with
his foot on the ground, woman
not likely to convert spoke, all hell broke
loose, white lightning Jesus all you bible
thumpers, kiss my jugs, Preacher Reuben James
here in your congregation prays up skirts, keep your
daughters locked away Reuben James likes girls as
tight as the hames, hell preacher here wore out his zipper
come Sunday sermon his habit can't cover what he did to her,
lies white lightning Jesus he's going to hell standing behind the
pulpit with his rod pointing who's next white lightning Jesus!
